4 to score: Four first-goalscorer selections for the weekend's matches
Premier League football tips
Bournemouth v Burnley
Ashley Barnes
It tends to be a toss-up between Chris Wood and Ashley Barnes to score first for Burnley this season and punters should back the Englishman to net first on the south coast. Barnes is averaging 2.5 shots per game in the Premier League and has found the net six times.
Aston Villa v Southampton
Danny Ings
Two sides involved in the battle at the bottom lock horns at Villa Park and Danny Ings can put Southampton in control. The former Liverpool forward has a goals-per-game average of 0.58, scoring nine times, and faces little competition for a place in the starting 11.
Norwich City v Wolves
Diogo Jota
Norwich are conceding more than two goals per game on average in the Premier League this term and could fall behind against Wolves. Diogo Jota has been in superb form, scoring a brace against Brighton before a hat-trick against Besiktas, and looks a worthwhile bet to open the scoring.
Manchester City v Leicester City
Sergio Aguero
Sergio Aguero has been sidelined with injury but can mark his return by breaching highflyers Leicester. The Argentinian forward has averaged a goal every 90 minutes in the Premier League this term and looks a reliable pick.
